whats your reaction on OPEN AI is permanently shutting down its AI video generation platform, Sora. Following the announcement, Disney officially withdrew from its $1 billion investment and licensing deal with the tech company. OpenAI cited a need to reallocate computing resources and shift priorities ahead of an expected IPO. Since its rollout, the text-to-video platform has also faced mounting operational costs and severe legal scrutiny regarding copyright infringement. The closure terminates one of the largest corporate AI partnerships to date. Disney’s deal was originally designed to allow users to generate videos using its licensed characters, but a studio spokesperson confirmed they are now completely exiting the agreement. Across social media, the public reaction has been heavily celebratory. Digital artists and internet users who campaigned against the platform’s output commonly referred to as “AI slop”are widely discussing the shutdown as a significant victory for human creators lol. what are these people even celebrating about? and some peope are saying its sora 1 not 2, i dont use sora and enver did so maybe someone here can confirm it
